Bring the kids to the Fourth Sunday races -- free, no registration required. Starting at 8:40 a.m. will be the Kids Race. The Kids Race is intended for the younger kids, toddlers to first graders as the distance is just 100 yards. Volunteers will supervise the race so that parents and spectators can cheer the kids on. Each child will receive a LMJS logo'ed ribbon. At 8:45 a.m. we hold the Youth Race. The Youth Race is for older kids, ages 9 to 12, and will take place on the paved path that parallels the street, Bellevue, and will be about 1/2 mile.
